strong enough to use a 120?

[Dave Dillehay]

Dear Lorenzoid,

Thanks for the hijack.

The Faber HP (high Pressure) 120s that we use are rated at -9.41 lbs full and +.65 lbs empty. Most people take off 4 lbs of lead when using our tanks as opposed to aluminum 80s

You must be referring to Worthington or Faber LP (low pressure) 120 tanks that others in Cozumel use. What you noted is why we don't use LP tanks.

Thanks, Dave. Well, the chart I found on-line listed those as the specs for a "Faber HP-120." The one listed as "Faber FX-120" has the specs you state. But I found another site with another chart that listed them as the specs for a "Faber HP 120." Whatever the name, no matter.

With buoyancy specs of -9.41 lbs full to +.65 lbs empty, now I understand why everyone likes your tanks.

Tanks a lot, and see you in 10 days!

Does this mean that there will be no YouTube videos of you belly flopping onto the sandy bottom?

Or staying afloat using several SMBs to provide a little more flotation?

Those could have been great videos.

We just got back from 10 days with Aldora. I dove 120s and the wife dove 100s with no problem

What's this about Sandy's bottom and SMBs? I don't make those kinds of videos.
